Hi,
See the article below.
I just read that the specs are out for three different types of CD-R drives in terms of disk capacity and speeds from Constellation 3D,and it is heading towards manufacturing. It's great for movies and coporate archiving, but was degraded for the consumer market -- Nothing above 5Gb/side for the consumer whereas for the coporate it's 200Gb/side. I don't think it will compete for the PC market unless the disk capacities are upped! Probably purposely degraded so that you can't copy a HDTV DVD to your PC CD-R disk. Here is the <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/001207/ny_constel.html">link </a>
